What should we pay attention to when offering sacrifices to our ancestors?

(1) There is a certain order in which worshippers should perform sacrifices. The order is: father, mother, eldest son, eldest daughter, second son, second daughter... and so on. After the worship is completed, the offerings are blessed by the ancestors and then everyone can eat them.
(2) Do not wear red or brightly colored clothes. Wearing plain clothes reflects your solemnity. Dress neatly to show courtesy and respect to ancestors.
(3) Avoid making jokes, using foul language, laughing, cursing, or saying negative or uncivilized things.
(4) Do not step over graves and offerings.
(5) You cannot visit other people’s graves or comment on the design of other people’s graves. This will be considered as blasphemy and will cause you to encounter bad energy and return home in trouble.
(6) When visiting the grave of a newly buried person for the first time to offer sacrifices, one must first walk around the grave three times. When returning home, one must return home by another road and cannot take the same route as when leaving.
(7) When offering sacrifices to the elderly, one must be extremely respectful. One must not make loud noises, laugh, or fart in front of the ancestral spirits. One must kowtow in respect, burn incense and candles, and observe a moment of silence.
(8) When visiting the graves of their loved ones, people bring wine, food, fruits, paper money and other items to the cemetery. They offer the food in front of the graves of their loved ones and then burn the paper money. They add new soil to the graves and repair the graves. They break off a few green branches and insert them on the graves. They also put some paper money on top so that others can see that there are still descendants in the graves. Then they kowtow and pay their respects.
